The article analyzes the problem of organizing motor activity of students of higher education institutions. It is emphasized that the motor activity of student youth is considered an integral part of life. The level of motor activity of students of higher education institutions is investigated. The problem of research and evaluation of physical activity is still relevant, as physical activity is one of the main factors determining the health and physical condition of the population. Due to the imbalance between food consumption, physical activity and human rest, special attention needs to be paid to the rational organization of physical activity. A special role in this problem is played by the organization of the motor mode of students of pedagogical specialties, whose training is associated with low motor activity. Chronic deficiency of motor activity in the regime of student youth becomes a real threat to their health and normal physical performance. Due to the constant scientific and technical development of society, there is a lack of physical activity in students of higher education, which in most cases is the cause of various diseases.

The article reveals the peculiarities of the construction of rational modes of motor activity of student youth in the conditions of distance learning. It is established that the rational organization of physical activity has become especially relevant due to the imbalance between food consumption, exercise and human rest. A special role in this problem is played by the organization of the motor mode of student youth, whose training is associated with low motor activity in terms of distance learning. It has been found that chronic lack of physical activity in the regime of student youth becomes a real threat to their health and normal physical performance. Practice shows that two classes (four hours) per week in the first two courses of the university do not allow to ensure a minimum level of physical activity of students. So it is clear that the need for independent exercise in free time is objectively justified. Research shows that physical activity is an integral part of human behavior should ensure the proper functioning of body systems and health. Taking into account individual norms of motor activity is one of the essential factors in improving the system of physical education of students. Therefore, when researching the health of students and involving them in physical culture, special attention was paid to the problem of the relationship between physical activity and other aspects of student lifestyle. These problems became the subject of our analysis at the stage of the observational experiment, which preceded the development of a health training program to improve student health.

The article reveals modern approaches to optimizing motor activity of student youth. The importance of motor activity in the life of students, its impact on physical development, physical fitness, psycho-emotional state of those involved is substantiated. The analysis of scientific publications devoted to the problem of optimization of motor activity, youth health and modeling of motor modes of students of higher education institutions is carried out. The problem of lack of motor activity in young people has been identified, which requires the search for new scientific approaches and effective solutions. It is determined that one of the most effective ways to optimize physical activity is the introduction of modern information and communication technologies in the process of physical education of higher education institutions. Today, cardiovascular diseases, which are associated with insufficient physical activity, are becoming more common. And in a pandemic, lockdown, distance learning, there is a rapid decline in physical activity, which negatively affects not only the physical fitness of young people, but can also lead to diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, angina and myocardial infarction, and so on. Their spread in our time is not accidental, it is directly related to changes in the motor regime of the majority of the population, due to modern living conditions: the rapid pace of technology, the growth of information, increasing mental stress.

The study objective is to evaluate the possibility of using screening methods for determining the effectiveness of health and fitness activities of students in higher education institutions. Materials and methods. The participants in the experiment were 37 first-year students (17 boys and 20 girls) of the School of History of H. S. Skovoroda Kharkiv National Pedagogical University. The experiment lasted during the fall semester. Using the Framingham method for analyzing weekly timing, the study conducted a survey among the students on their level of motor activity and performed a functional movement screen testing. To tentatively evaluate the cause and effect relationship between the level of motor activity and the occurrence of a pathological movement pattern, the study used the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The characteristics between the groups were analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney test for comparing the distribution of ordinal variables. Results. The correlation analysis showed that the first-year students’ motor activity was positively related to the results of functional movement screening (R=+0.69, p< 0.05). At the same time, the students (EG1) who mainly had a high level of physical activity at physical education classes showed low values of functional movement evaluation, compared to the students (EG2) participating in extra-curricular physical activity. In EG1, the overall screening score was 10.3±0.7, in EG2 — 14.2±0.9 (p<0.05). Conclusions. The students with insufficient weekly motor activity had risk values of the test (10.3±0.7), which requires further analysis of the causes of a pathological movement pattern. The study results have confirmed the existence of the relationship between motor activity indicators and functional movement evaluation (R=+0.69, p<0.05). This provides a way to use the screening method of determining motor competence for the effectiveness evaluation of health and fitness programs, but further research is needed.

The issue of motor activity of students during the introduction of quarantine restrictions is considering. The development of physical activity of student youth should be one of the priority tasks of physical education in higher education institutions. The purpose of the work is to discover and substantiate the directions of formation of motivation for motor activity in the process of physical education of students during quarantine. Research methods: theoretical analysis, systematization, comparison of different views on the researched problem, generalization of data of scientific-methodical and special literature. Solving problem issues, ensuring the physiologically necessary level of motor activity of students as factors of their prevention, analyzed in terms of the formation of motivations in the process of their physical education. The organization of the initial process of physical education, aimed at encouraging students of higher education institutions to physical education classes and the formation of their belief in the need for regular physical activity. The structural components of this process are singled out, the middle ones of which are: attractive aspects of physical culture and sports, private, active renewal, ideal sports environment, extraordinary sports, desire to help with victories, body beauty, etc. It was found that an important manifestation of interest in the implementation of physical activity is the nature of the use of students in their free time. Complemented ideas on the need and feasibility of using the appropriate set of traditional and innovative forms and methods of physical education of the latest achievements need to encourage students to ensure the required level of their motor activity. For the results of the scientific research, the main theoretical and methodological provisions to engage in physical culture in students in the quarantine of the back support of the formation of their motivation for motor activity.

The article investigates the influence of health and recreational physical activity on terminal and instrumental values of higher education institutions students. The following research methods are used, including theoretical analysis of professional scientific and methodological resources by domestic and foreign authors, sociological, psychological and diagnostic, pedagogical research methods, methods of mathematical statistics. To determine the initial level of healthy lifestyle attitudes formation among students M. Rokych’s method of “Value Orientations” has been used. The research has been conducted on the basis of Kyiv National Linguistic University, National Pedagogical University named after M. P. Drahomanov. The study has involved 48 students (23 boys and 25 girls), who were part of the experimental (EG) and control (CG) groups (total of 24 people). The program of health-improving classes for students of higher education institutions has presupposed the use of various means of health-improving and recreational physical activities twice a week. The duration of classes was one and a half hours. Those that are most in demand among student youth were chosen as priorities. Among the young men these were strength exercises, elements of sport games and recreational games. Among the girls they included health fitness exercises. We have confirmed the feasibility and necessity of using innovative means of physical activity and forms of extracurricular activities in development of such programs that significantly increase the motivation of young people to participate in such programs. In the course of the research we have studied the hierarchy of terminal and instrumental values among young men and women who studied in higher educational institutions. The application of the developed program contributed to the students' awareness of “health” category value. Among EG students such instrumental values as education (depth of knowledge, high general culture), self- control (restraint, self-discipline) and rationalism (ability to think wisely and logically, to make thoughtful, rational decisions) have transferred to the first place. The obtained results prove that there are positive changes in the system of students’ terminal and instrumental values under the influence of health and recreational motor activity.

The article considers the peculiarities of the use of volleyball in groups of sports improvement of students of higher education institutions. The current state of physical fitness of student youth is characterized. The need to improve the system of sports training of volleyball students in connection with changes in government, structural, logistical, economic conditions, the need to educate young people in a healthy lifestyle, one of the main factors of which should be daily exercise . It is established that the existing system of physical education of students on the basis of traditional provisions of current organizational and methodological programs does not provide fully effective rehabilitation, education and upbringing of students from the standpoint of conscious mandatory motor activity and personal needs in solving important tasks of personal development. The reforms carried out in the modern system of higher education have deeply affected the physical education of student youth. The most important role in the general and professional development of students of higher education institutions belongs to physical education, both as a discipline and as one of the subsystems of the holistic pedagogical process. One of the ways to solve this problem is to reorient the target programs of different types of physical culture to meet the needs of personal orientations, interests and personal goals of each student, more fully take into account the level of physical development and physical fitness, targeted use of training loads. It is for each of the cultivated types of sports activities in higher education institutions it is necessary to develop a goal, objectives, tools, forms and a comprehensive educational and training complex. This becomes possible only on the basis of the development and application of new educational and training technologies aimed at conscious motor activity of female students of higher education institutions in the chosen sport.

The article examines how far the key Bologna objective of student mobility has been achieved in Portuguese higher education institutions and the main factors shaping it. It analyzes credit mobility, outgoing and incoming, between Portugal and Europe. Although mobility overall has risen, incoming mobility has grown faster, making Portugal an importer country. Portugal’s attraction power is explained mainly by its location, climate, and leisure opportunities. For outgoing mobility, employability is the main driver, explained by high unemployment and an uncertain home labor market. The main obstacle is financial, so country choice is increasingly based on proximity and living costs. Another important constraint is curricular inflexibility of Portuguese higher education institutions. The findings suggest that mobility in Portugal is far from reflecting Bologna’s policy goals, making the 2020 mobility target of 20% an ideal rather than an achievement.

The concept of university sports in Serbia is still dominantly based on occasional sports manifestations (competitions) for students. Mostly in the shape of single ad-hoc tournaments in different areas of sport or as competitions of student athletes within the University sports association. The current position of a majority of student population in terms of university sports in Serbia can be characterized as passive (spectators), while direct participants, who are recruited from the field of active competitive sports, have this only as an “additional” obligation within the sport they already practice in “their” sport clubs. Therefore, students’ perception of the role of sports/physical activity at university represents a very important determinant for creating adequate (new) program contents, concepts and for the implementation of physical education in higher education institutions in Serbia. The goal of this research, which is realised as an empirical non-experimental study, is to identify the attitude and opinion of students about the role of sport and organized physical exercising at university. The sample involved 227 students at the University of Novi Sad and Educons University from Sremska Kamenica. Survey was used as the basic research technique, and the instrument was constructed as a questionnaire whose basic semantic structure was based on similar instruments used in a few earlier studies. The results showed that the currently trend indicates a drop in regular practice of sport after enrolment in faculty, but youth positively perceive the role of sports at higher education institutions, clearly recognizing its importance in social interaction. Therefore, pedagogical implications of this research can certainly dominantly relate to management structures of higher education institutions in shape of a clear message about the necessity to introduce more intense education of all education stakeholders about the values and importance of physical activity (physical exercising) of youth. In that context, they also encourage changes in overall education policy in Serbia.
